    Hi,

    I am just before repainting my Goose. Would be great to get the right paint code written on the back side of the colour-wheel. Can you forward my request to the buyer of the colour-wheel or do you maybe have another one? I would like to buy it.

    best regards

    Herbert

    Great looking goose, they look stunning in silver. Only critical of the too modern mirror choice.

    I am not a big fan of changing the color of the dash

    Does it look like they have blacked out the vertical pinch weld area along the rocker panels? I go back and forth on this with my car. I know the cars came with that area painted body color, but it I feel that fights with the purity of the body design, so I put black vinyl tape over it to make it go away. Then I'll get a guilt pang and take the tape off...and then I'll be sitting in the garage looking at it and say to myself, "It looks so much better blacked out" and the tape will go back on. Right now it's in the "tape off" mode, but I've been thinking.....

    I wonder if this could be the car? this is from "bring a trailer" back in August 2012. It has the same silver side mirrors as the one I saw yesterday at Griots:

    Top Shelf 1969 DeTomaso Mangusta

    1+, but what about the mirrors? Which are the perfect mirrors on a Mangusta?

    Mangustas (like many Italian cars of the period) came without mirrors. Those are Vitaloni Californian.

    Metal vitaloni sebrings which they don't make more ... Newer ones are plastic now with a much thicker housing.

    There were thin shelled plastic Vitaloni Sebrings as well. I have a pair on my Espada.
    Also not easy to find especially ones in good nick.
    Fender mounted they're damn near useless but look cool.
